Oscar awoke in his bed, yawning as he felt the sun on his face. Getting off the bed, he stretched and got dressed before going to work.

He grabbed a bucket and walked over to the pump, beginning to pump, water flowed through and into the bucket, he was about to return the bucket to his house when he saw something strange in the field. A man was lying there.

Setting the bucket down, Oscar crept closer observing the strange man. He wore some type of robe, his legs were completely mechanic, he had red and black tattoos covering his body, and horns on his head.

Debating whether or not to help this man, he decided to. Grabbing him by the shoulders, he dragged the strange man towards the house. Opening the door, he dragged the man inside, he was certainly heavy.

With one last heave, he set the man on the sofa, putting his legs on it as well. With that he turned and walked towards his kitchen, preparing a meal for the strange man when he woke up.

Preparing the table with silverware and plates. He set the stew on the table when he heard a groan coming from the living room. Walking over he saw the man rubbing his forehead.

Oscar: Oh, hello there!

The man quickly turned his head when he heard Oscar speak, but relaxed slightly when he saw it was only a boy.

Man: Hello... tell me, where am I?

Oscar: Oh... you're currently in my house, I found you outside lying in the field.

The man stood from the couch, taller than Oscar obviously, an act of kindness? That is unusual. thought the man, then he sniffed when he smelled the stew.

Oscar: Right! I made some food if your hungry.

Man: Thank... you. If I may, why are you doing this? Why are you being kind to me?

Oscar: It seemed like the right thing to do.

The man nodded again, pondering his words.

Man: May I use the facilities first?

Oscar: Oh, of course! Down the hall and to the right.

The man nodded and began walking, holding his hands behind him, his mechanical feet clanking as he walked on the wood.

The man opened the door, he looked in the mirror and turned his head quizzically. Instead of the yellow eyes, he had most of his life, his eyes were an indigo color now. Which was certainly odd. Your eyes changed back only when you weren't tainted with the dark side.

His tattoos were still there, he was wearing a tight robe shirt that was blue, instead of black like he usually wore. He pondered killing the boy, but he felt a disturbance in the force when he thought like that, obviously wanting him not to. He was obviously younger, he could see that on his face.

Man: Why would the force revive me of all people?

The man questioned, he felt to his belt, seeing he still had his double-bladed lightsaber. Satisfied, he opened the door and walked back to the main room. Seeing Oscar sitting at the table he took the seat across from him.

Oscar: I never caught your name?

Man: I am Maul.

With that, Maul grabbed his spoon and began to eat his stew, Oscar doing the same thing. Maul stared at the farmboy, feeling the urge to protect him for some reason. He had to admit the stew was surprisingly good.

The man felt multiple presences approach the house, questioning this, he raised his head. Oscar did as well and paled when he heard the door knocking.

Oscar: Oh no... Don't move.

Maul furrowed his brow when he heard the concern in the voice of the young man. But continued to eat his stew.

Maul heard Oscar open the door slowly, then heard it slam open, as several men walked into the house.

Man: Where's the goods pipsqueak?

Oscar: I...Uh wasn't able to get them today...

Man: Why not?!

Oscar: Because, uh...well...

The man motioned to his friends to search the house, calling him over when he saw Maul.

Man: Hey Jack! Look at this freak!

The man named Jack apparently, walked to the kitchen and eyed Maul, who was still eating his stew.

Jack: Well, well, well, look at this boys, seems like Oscar made a new friend! I thought we were your friends Oscar?

Jack walked up to Maul and grabbed the bowl, taking a sip from it. Before throwing it to the ground, shattering the dish.

Jack: Disgusting.

Jack turned around to face Oscar, Maul used this to stand he grabbed the chair, and swung it at Jack. It collided with his head, dropping him to the ground.

His two friends gasped before turning to maul, with rage in their eyes.

Maul: Too slow.

He punched one of them, hearing his nose break. Stomping on the other's foot, making him scream in pain. Maul headbutted him, his horns slicing through the skull killing him.

Oscar: Behind you!

Jack had drawn a slugthrower from his belt, cocking it, Maul moved quickly. Grabbing his saber off his belt, he activated one side of it. Slicing the man's arm off, making him scream in pain.

Maul: Pitiful fools. Come, Oscar, we are leaving.

Maul clipped his lightsaber back to his belt and walked out the door, Oscar following close behind.

Maul: Oscar... who were they?

Oscar: They were my slavers, using me to farm their fields.

Maul: Well... you're free now.

Oscar: Thank you...

Oscar's voice trailed off, Maul looked at him quizzically, sensing another presence awaken within him. Oscar began speaking, but not with Oscar's voice.

???: Who are you?

Maul: I am Oscar's guardian, who are you?

???: No, you're not, Oscar met you today, you are not his guardian.

Maul: What does it matter to you?

???: I need to know if someone's going to harm my host.

Maul: Host? What do you mean by that?

Ozpin: My name is Ozpin, I reincarnate into a different body each time my previous one dies. Oscar here happens to be the next one. Now, I told you about me, tell me about you.

Maul: Very well, I am Maul. That is all you need to know... What is that?

Ozpin: What?

Maul: A creature made purely out of bloodlust, I can sense them, what are they?

Ozpin: Draw, your weapon, they will be attacking.

Maul hesitantly unclipped his lightsaber, still not trusting the spirit that was controlling Oscar. A wolf-like creature jumped out of the bushes, snarling at Maul, he could sense its aggression. Activating his lightsaber, he threw it, cleaving the creature in half.

Maul: (summoning his lightsaber) Now... what was that?

Ozpin: That was a Grimm, this world is infested with these creatures. Come.

Ozpin walked off, Maul furrowed his brow but followed.

Maul: Where are we going?

Ozpin: To Haven.

Maul: What is that?

Ozpin: How do you not know what Haven is?

Maul: I am not from this planet. I do not know its locations.

Ozpin: Then why are you here?

Maul: The force revived me for a reason, it guides me towards Oscar, for the time being, I will guard Oscar with my life till I discover that reason.

Ozpin: Well then, might as well follow us.

Maul growled but complied, throwing his saber to kill another Grimm.

Vader and Ahsoka stood still, staring at each other, Vader saw she had aged, Ahsoka saw that he was younger. Then the two of them rushed forward, Vader grabbed her in a hug, Ahsoka grabbing him as well, tears welling in her eyes.

Vader: I thought I lost you...

Ahsoka: You didn't...

Hours later, the group was huddled around a fire, all except Vader and Ahsoka, who sat around their own fire, their conversation couldn't be heard.

Raven: I feel like I'm missing some critical information here, is she a lover of him.

Ruby: She's his sister.

Qrow: Why are you even here Raven?

The entire group looked towards the leader of the Branwen Tribe, awaiting an answer.

Raven: I'm here b-because Vader wants me to.

Qrow: Wow... I've never seen you this scared before. What did he do that makes you so afraid?

Raven: He defeated the entire Tribe, without moving a muscle, then he defeated me when I was using the maiden power, after that, I learned about everything he did after that only enforcing my... dislike of him.

Din: You're here out of fear? That's a new one.

Raven: Oh yeah? Why are you here?

Din:... I'm here because I've got no other choice, I'm from the same place they're from. (Nods towards Vader and Ahsoka) No way home, no way to even contact them, we all died and got reincarnated here, there's gotta be a reason.

Din removed a small metal ball from his pocket and began rubbing it, remembering someone.

Ahsoka: I... I'm glad you've changed Anaki-Vader (she weakly smiled) I'm sorry... It's just a lot to absorb... we all died, then got transported here for a reason right? The force led me to you, so maybe we're here for a reason?

Vader: The force has been my guide for the past few months, telling me which way to go. (he stood from the fire) I think you're right, we are here for a reason, the force will guide us.

Ahsoka: (smiling) Always.

Vader checked his scroll, he had gotten a message from Glynda.

Vader: There is something else, I may have a romantic relationship with someone.

Ahsoka: Compared to the other things you've done? I don't think that matters.

Vader and Ahsoka then walked over to the group silencing the others.

Vader: Qrow... why are we going to Haven?

Qrow: With Beacon gone, they'll most likely going for Haven to get the relic of knowledge. We need to get there first to stop them.

Vader: Very well. Let's get some rest then head out in the morning, we still have a long way to go before we get to mistral.

The group nodded and extinguished the fire, before rolling over to get some sleep. Raven glancing at Vader wearily before closing her eyes.

Ahsoka: I sense great fear within her. What did you do?

Vader: I may have singlehandedly beaten her tribe of bandits, which apparently leaves a lasting effect on a person.

Ahsoka: Well... you're right, we do need to get some rest. I'll take the first watch.

Vader: Good night.

With that Vader opened his scroll and read the message sent by Glynda, then he lied down to get some rest.
